Indigenous Entrepreneurship

Indigenous Entrepreneurship

Building entrepreneurship and innovation within Indigenous communities and people across Australia represents a significant milestone to improving Indigenous economic development outcomes.

Entrepreneurship focuses on building the capacity and willingness to start up, develop and manage a business venture to make a profit.

Indigenous people, combined with natural resources, human capital, capital, land and cultural resources are positioned in a unique marketplace to succeed. Entrepreneurship is driven by a desire to take risks, be innovative and creative to compete with local, national and global economies.
